Course Description:
This empowering 3-hour workshop is designed to support and prepare new and expecting mothers for the realities of both birth and the postpartum period—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you're in your third trimester or navigating early motherhood, this workshop offers practical tools, compassionate guidance, and expert insights to help you thrive.
Led by a multidisciplinary team of providers, the session begins with an exploration of the maternal brain and body—shedding light on how hormonal changes, sleep, and mental health intersect throughout pregnancy and postpartum. You'll learn the difference between baby blues and more serious perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and how to build protective routines and systems of support.
From there, we’ll dive into mindful birth and postpartum planning, focusing on flexibility, emotional preparedness, and how to advocate for yourself. You’ll explore strategies for mental wellness and stress reduction, as well as movement and nutrition tips to support healing and vitality.
The workshop includes a gentle movement session, a nutrition talk with simple meal planning tools (including recipes!), and practical take-home exercises to reduce overwhelm, manage stress, and stay connected to your needs.
What You'll Receive:
- Fillable Birth Plan & Postpartum Plan Templates
- A curated list of community resources and mental health contacts
- Nutrition guides and recipe cards to support intuitive postpartum eating
- Access to additional online resources via QR codes or a private digital vault
Bonus: Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to care for their whole selves—not just their baby—and with actionable strategies to navigate the fourth trimester with confidence and compassion.
